Signed; Martine Barrat - Do or Die - 1993

Very rare signature by Martine Barrat.
Excellent, nearly new condition.

"Martine Barrat is a photographer and videographer. Based in New York since 1968, she has developed very close relationships with residents of the South Bronx and Harlem. In the early 1970s, in collaboration with gangs from the South Bronx, she created a video series titled You Do The Crime, You Do The Time, screened in 1978 at the Whitney Museum. Barrat then pursued a photographic body of work on children’s boxing clubs, published in a major book Do or Die (Viking Press, 1993). Since then she has photographed around the world, in Japan, Brazil, Cuba and France, with the single motto: “my camera is an extension of my heart.” She lives and works in New York."

Her work, long overlooked, particularly on this side of the Atlantic, has just been highlighted by a major retrospective at the Rencontres d’Arles in July 2026.
